Couple of Questions

[Temmie19]

Question 1: Is the Python port written in Python 2? Because when running it, it came up with some errors that upon searching pointed me to people trying to run Python 2 code in Python 3.

Question 2: Is there any way we could get a bit of documentation on how to use this? I get a base of what it's looking for, but even with the testers, it's hard to see what's happening.

Hi Temmie, sorry for answering late. Yes, the Python version seems to be in Python 2. Just filed #3 to provide a Python 3 implementation.

As to the second question, I was hoping that the code is self-evident in terms of how to use it (filed #4 to improve the situation). So the encode() function takes the data to encode and the set of bytes to exclude from the output. What it returns is a tuple of which the first element is the output data and the second is the character to which the ones to be excluded are mapped to.
